Analysis of The Clock
Clock, you are the only instrument
Chasing time punctually.
Your long, short hands are
always obey their duties correctly.
Clock your two hands
are always working.
Though they are not equal
still they are active from
evening to morning.
Very often when your
Two hands are exhausted,
they are forced to work
until they are again wounded.
But clock I want
you must run back
so that I can reach
my glorious past
and rectify my lack.
